Police: Woman Reported Shot Dead Was Passed Out In Car Dressed As Zombie

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (CBS Atlanta/AP) — Police in Alabama were called to what looked like a woman shot dead in her car but found a Halloween reveler they described as drunk and passed out in a bloody-pregnant looking zombie costume.

AL.com reports that a passerby called 911 in Birmingham on Thursday morning after seeing the woman slumped over her steering wheel at a traffic light.

Police say officers woke up the woman and removed her from the SUV. Authorities say she was handcuffed and taken to the city jail on a DUI charge.

A photo of the woman showed fake blood covering much of her torso as she was apprehended.

“You can see why someone thought she had been shot,” an officer told AL.com.
